Recently active topics in Yokway

So it seems that there are a lot of French comments on Yokway. This is great. But for a person like me who does not speak french, how do I figure out what is being said. I might be interested at times :)

One suggestion is that if it is in french (or any other language for that matter) maybe the user can select an option to translate that service. So basically have a free online translator (google has a good service and free) and have a link at the bottom of the comment that states...."translate me" and you guys can somehow scrap the comment, place it in the translator service and select the appropriate boxes and then its done! Just a thought

how about a spell checker... my spelling and english not good :)

I was invited to the circle. I had to click that circle and then click join. Maybe the invitations should be on the front page? Easier to accept.....just a thought

Stéphane already forwarded some feedback to Cyril, but I'm going to sum up my suggestions or impressions here.

When I create a new post, sometimes, I'd like to be able to put a link (easily) to a related post that may already exist.

A minimal set of smileys should be recognized

Also, URLs should be recognized both inside posts and comments (with some regex magic).

I'd like to be able to browser the existing sharing cycles, to find some topics that may interest me. Further down the road, it would be great if there were some recommendation mechanism to suggest sharing cycles related to the ones I'm participating to.

Same thing for people: I'd like to find new friends, and have Yokway tell me that I may be interested in subscribing to X and Y because they share the same interests as me.

Is there or will there be a possibility to add some new filters? For instance, the other day, I wanted to share my recommendation of an hotel, the last time I went to SF, but there was no way to do this apart from just sharing the URL to the website.

Once a post is published, there doesn't seem to be a way of putting a post in a category: for instance, I posted something about a book, but I can't add it back to the book recommendation category.

What I'm also missing is a link for help: how do I use the site, where can I put some feedback, how can I get in touch with the founders, etc.

And also, as people tend to make comparisons with things they know, having some "mission statement" saying more clearly what Yokway is about, how it is intended to be used, may help. For instance, my current understanding is that it's kind of a mix between Digg (where you push news and comment), Delicous (where you bookmark interesting stuff), and Twitter (because you can life stream the interesting stuff you saw). Is it a good comparison?
